The newest Grateful Dead incantation rocked Madison Square Garden for Halloween last night, playing their second-ever show to a sold out crowd. The new band, featuring Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart of the Dead, along with John Mayer, Jeff Chimenti and Oteil Burbridge, got things rockin’ with a fantastic Halloween performance.
While things got warmed up in Albany, NY earlier in the week, Dead & Company came out in full force for this Garden throwdown. John Mayer was on point with his vocals throughout the show, alternating verses of Weir for “Jack Straw” and taking the lead on “Brown Eyed Women”, “Althea”, and “Deal” in the first set.
Mayer had some vocals in the second set as well, singing the “Lady With A Fan” section of “Terrapin Station” as previously promised. He also took a verse in “I Know You Rider” and the big bust-out encore, “Werewolves of London”.
